 viewed and it was found that it had 

 been very satisfactory. Plans for the 

 increase in business in the future were 

 discussed. The prospects are bright for 

 a good trade the coming year. 



EASTERN DROUGHT BROKEN. 



Frederick M. Clark, secretary pf the 

 Everett B. Clark Co., Milford, Conn., 

 wrote July 25: 



Our drought was broken in this sec- 

 tion July 22. It was too late, however, 

 to help a great many of our crops. Much 

 of the corn on light soils is beyond help, 

 while that on heavy ground will now 

 make a fair crop. Our seed crop of 

 turnip harvested a very nice crop. Para- 

 nip is harvested and is a very heavy

crop. Beet is nearly ready and prom- 

 ises well. Onion is doing fairly well. 

 Symptoms of bUght have developed in 

 some fields, however, and the present 

 muggy, wet weather is very apt to de- 

 velop more blight. The crop is not yet 

 assured, although within two weeks of 

 harvest. 



DUTCH BULBS. 



The harvesting of tulips is completed 

 in Holland. The bright, warm weather 

 that marked the last days of May con- 

 tinued all through June and, although 

 it put a sudden end to vegetation in 

 many bulb fields, the beneficial influ- 

 ence of such ripening off cannot be too 

 highly appreciated, although the number 

 of salable bulbs will decidedly be less 

 than last year, and the same must be 



expected from the hyacinth crops. Nar- 

 cissi will also be smaller, as they ripened 

 off too early, but they are likely to be 

 more satisfactory in forcing. 



The early and thorough ripening of 

 the bulbs, while it reduced the size of 

 the bulbs, and also of the crop, should 

 prove of value in improving the forcing 

 qualities, with the result of more satis- 

 factory results than the buyers secured 

 last year. 



LILY BULBS IN ENGLAND. 



From reports to hand from Japan it 

 would appear that prices will be some- 

 what lower for Japan lilies of all classes 

 during the coming season. The crops 

 are reported to be good and th© disease 

 has done hardly any damage this season. 

 The quantity planted for stock was
